Traces of BlackBerry found in Samsung's latest solid-state based ultra-mobile PC

If there's an ultra-mobile PC UMPC that I'd most want for myself today, that UMPC might very well be the newest Q1 Ultra from Samsung. Earlier this year at CES, I got a real good gander at Samsung's then latest greatest: the Q1 SDD. The Q1 UMPC had...

Samsung Q1 Ultra (Q1U-V)

The Samsung Q1 Ultra (Q1U-V) improves on Samsung's original and much maligned UMPC effort, but it still finds itself caught between two worlds.

Nehalem servers could spark a $27bn feeding frenzyItanium doesn't stand a chance to NehalemOne things for sure (and probably why Intels Tukwila/Itanium has slipped by about a year) is that Itanium doesn't stand a chance against Nehalem and even when Tukwila does arrive, will have a tough ride against Nehalem-EX....

Samsung X460

For years, Samsung has made laptops for pretty much every laptop-consuming corner of the globe except the U.S (an arrangement that's never particularly bothered us). The Q1 Ultra UMPC is as close as Samsung has come to selling a laptop here, but in the fall of 2008, the company decided...

Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium

Once full of promise and impressive feats of engineering, the ultramobile PC category has fallen on hard times, outmaneuvered by a cheaper, more capable class of systems known as Netbooks or mininotebooks. Best exemplified by the popular Asus Eee PC, these laptops use the same small screens and low-power CPUs...

Is the UMPC finally ready for the masses?

I have to admit I have never taken the UMPC very seriously. A couple of years ago, I wrote a review for the now-defunct Personal Tech Pipeline of the Samsung Q1, one of the earliest versions of these machines, and I came away less than impressed. It struck me at...
